We decided after a crazy few weeks at work for Steve (6 am to Midnight 4-5 days a week!!) We needed to get out of town so we could see him! We are so lucky to have some family close enough to drive to (if you call 8 hours close)!! We spent a weekend of cooking, eating, shopping, eating, movie watching/going, swimming, eating, playing legos, doing odd jobs, eating, and spending some good quality time with family!
The cooks!
The snacker & the crazy uncle/ photographer
The spread & the table decor!
The table setters!
Me & Avery...I taught her how to do the orange rolls this year!
Gordon & Duce writing their thankful notes
The kids table...that got a bit rowdy!
Our table was mildly more in control!
And then the next day...in classic "Thanksgiving Family get-together" style...somebody got sick!
In this case we had 2 pukers....good thing the "bug" was short lived and didn't pass beyond our two!
Oscar kicked off the puking with Eleanor to follow closely behind (oh and by the way Steve was home alone with all the kids while Erika, Shanda & I were shopping!)
Steve really was the Champ that day, he fed, cleaned, attended to sickies and Entertained 8 children for 4+ hours while EVERYONE was awake!!!

The girlie cousins!
Where did all these kids come from?
Steve was a Champ and watched/ took all the 8 older kids on 3 separate occasions!
We were sad to go but had to be back for school and the dreaded end of year work schedules!
I guess we'll see Steve again at Christmas time!
